Amazon.co.uk Review
This live-action version of EB White's novel doesn't have quite the magic of, say, Toy Story. Stuart Little is squarely aimed, and successfully so, at the 4- to 10-year-old viewer. Does this make it a bad family film? Not in the slightest. The gee-whiz visual effects (created by original Star Wars wizard John Dykstra) and the film's ebullient wholesomeness make this a welcome addition to the home library. In EB White's world, it's hardly surprising that human parents would adopt "outside their species". The smooth-talking mouse Stuart (voiced by Michael J. Fox) seems the perfect new child for parents Geena Davis and Hugh Laurie, especially with an adorable wardrobe of very small sweaters and pants. Stuart has more difficulty fitting in with the Little's family cat, Snowbell (voiced by Nathan Lane, who also deftly voiced Timon in director Rob Minkoff's last feature, The Lion King). The simple story deals with Stuart trying to fit in with his new life, including big brother George (Jerry Maguire's scene-stealing Jonathan Lipnicki). And of course there's an adventure when Snowbell's schemes put Stuart into real danger from the devious plans of an alley cat named Smokey (voiced by Chazz Palminteri). Brisk--85 minutes--amusing, and tolerably cute, Stuart Little stands tall. Two curios: The effects are so cleanly done that we could call Stuart the first successfully computer-animated actor, and the screenplay was co-written by M. Night Shyamalan, who made bigger waves in 1999 writing and directing The Sixth Sense. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

Synopsis
Based on the novel by E.B. White, this is the heartwarming story of Stuart Little, a charming mouse who is adopted by a human family, to the disgust of the housecat and his new brother George. The tale unfolds as Stuart grows accustomed to his new role, eventually winning over everyone he meets. Seamless technical effects make this a work of entertainment that even the most jaded of filmgoers will fall for.
From the Back Cover
When Stuart Little, an adorable little mouse with a big heart (voiced by Michael J. Fox), is adopted by the Little family as a brother for their son George (Jonathan Lipnicki), he finds he has a lot to adjust to in his new home. Whilst Mr and Mrs Little fall in love with Stuart right away, George doesn't quite know what to make of his new brother. And when Snowbell the family cat finds he's been displaced by a mouse, plans are soon afoot to get Stuart out of the Little house. Permanently! Amazing state-of-the-art special effects, comedy and adventure makes this the biggest adventure a Little can have!

 My only disappointment..... December 26, 2007
is that i'd heard Brian Setzer (Rockabilly/swing/God) was going to be in this movie! My favourite guitarest does appear....but only in the music extras on the dvd. That's crimanal because the 'If you can't rock me' by the Brian Setzer Orchestra (and featuring Stuart Little bopping away to my idol) is absolutely classic 5 star stuff! Check out the music extras and you'll see what i'm talkin' about. Perhaps it was including in the American release? Anyway, Michael j. Fox is a hero of mine since 'Back to the future' and he does a great job bringing the voice of the little mouse to life. Out of the 3 Stuart Little movies, this is definately the best. I just wish they'd used 'If you can't rock me' in the end credits or something instead of Lou Bego's 'mambo part 2.
 Nice kiddy movie June 24, 2007
This is a great movie for parents to watch with their kids. How can you not even like this film. Even with stars in here like Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Michael J. Fox, Jonthan Lipnicki, Dabeney Coleman, Julia Sweeney and Patch Adams' Harold Gould. As the movie opens, Mr. Little and Mrs. Little (Hugh Laurie and Geene Davis) decide to adopt a younger brother for George Little (Jonthan Lipnicki). But instead of coming home with a boy, they come home with a mouse they named Stuart Little (voice of Michael J. Fox). And the family cat named Snowbell (voice of Nathan Lane) doesn't like the idea of having Stuart Little as a master instead of lunch.
 There's a mouse in the house October 22, 2003
This is a fantastic DVD! The film is a children's classic - great acting, and humour that works equally well for adults (which is important if you're going to have to watch it 30 times!). The story is simple, and there is a good blend of action, slapstick and witty dialogue. What sets the DVD apart is the additional content - music, games, interactive insights into the animator's art and commentary - all of which is of a high quality and genuinely interesting to (my) children.
Good fun and an excellent kids film June 26, 2003
I'm over the target age for this movie (19) but I still enjoyed it. It's got a really bright cartoony look to it and in places it's really quite funny. Of course, being a kids film, it's quite predictable for a grown up viewer but it's still enjoyable. Michael J Fox is great as the voice of Stuart and Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis are superb as his adoptive parents. Jonathon Lipniki was quite irritating for me but he did was he was supposed to do and gave the funky computer mouse something to play with. I liked it and if you've got kids, or you are one, then you could do a lot worse than this.
Good all round family entertainment October 16, 2001
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this video last Christmas for my 2 children - a 5 yr old girl and 3 yr old boy. I was expecting a short lived interest but I couldn't have been more wrong. It seems to cover all age groups and is one of the few films they will both sit and watch together. Nearly a year later they still ask to watch it on a regular basis - their favourite line being "A mouse with a pet cat!" It is an enchanting and funny film with some wonderful lines and brilliant special effects. Although aimed at children, I must admit to my husband and I sneakily watching it as well (let's just say we are over 40!)
